In 2001, just past the millennium,China was still
celebrating the joy of a successful Olympic bid. In Wuxi, Jiangsu
province, the birthplace of China's industry and commerce, a revolution
in the world's cleanest energy was fully under way. In that same year,
Suntech started communicating with the world.

Time
has flown by; it has been 19 years since Suntech first entered the PV
market and established itself as a world-renowned solar photo-voltaic
manufacturing enterprise. Its high-quality modular products are sold to
more than 80 countries and regions throughout the world. It has more
than 1,500 partners, and the total global shipment has now exceeded
18GW. Looking back, Suntech has every reason to pride itself on many laudable projects. In sandstorm desert areas, Suntech's modules generate reliable electricity with excellent sand-resistant performance. In the year-round hot and humid tropics,
Suntech's modules have maintained effective output with their excellent
resistance to high temperature, high humidity, and high UV. At the foot
of snow-capped mountains, its modules continue to operate with a
thorough snow load. With reliable performance, its modules are sold all
over the world, providing the cleanest, most economical and most
effective energy solutions for the future of a green earth.

The
test of time always reveals the best choices. After 19 years of
development, Suntech has become more and more popular. Approaching our
19th anniversary, we selected 19 projects which Suntech
launched in 19 countries over the past 19 years. By sharing with you the
stories behind each project, we seek to reveal to you the wisdom that
comes over time.

Suntech modules have received the VDE Quality-Tested certification, attesting that the quality of Suntech modules exceed existing industry standards.

The VDE created its VDE Quality-Tested seal of approval to recognize a level of quality control that goes beyond existing standards in the PV industry when validating PV modules. Low rates of degradation and high safety standards are essential aspects of attaining VDE certification.

Compared to other industry standards, such as the IEC61215 and IEC61730-2, the VDE Quality-Tested seal relies on a more rigorous examination of performance capabilities.
